It was the wind. I readjusted just slightly and my signal strength moved to around 88 and my signal quality numbers increased to as high as 6.3 on some of the HD channels. Thanks.

I have the 75e dish but my area has had heavy sustained winds. I guess I need to readjust my dish alignment. I will try to do that this week and let you know. Thanks.

I did as you said and my readings were below 5.0 mostly 4.4 and 4.6. What should I do to get my readings above 5.0 to improve my signal quality? Thanks for your assistance.

I'm having the same problem. My HD channels break up every few seconds. I tried to watch 20/20 West Coast feed last night and could do it because of the breakup. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem? My signal strength is in the 70's.

I have Dish and currently have waivers via All American Direct for CBS and ABC E/W (Atlanta/San Francisco). I also asked last December for FOX to be approved but they denied my claim in January. I called All American Direct and they told me to contact my local station again to ask them to...

I have Starchoice and Dish Network in my U.S. home. I'm getting an upgrade tomorrow to my Dish system. Should I be concerned that a Dish installer comes to my home and sees my Starchoice receiver and dish? Dish hasn't been at my home since I installed my Canadian system. Have any of you ever had...

Does anyone know what the costs of purchasing NFL Sunday Ticket and NHL Centre Ice are together? How many payments etc? I was considering asking my broker to activate these this week. Thanks.:)

Contact KuSat (ExpressVu, Star Choice, Viewsat, Coolsat, Pansat, Free-to-air, HughesNet, Anikast, C-Band, Promax, Unaohm and much more at Ku Satellites, since 1997!) and order your hardware. They will ship the equipment to the U.S. and are very reliable. If you need a broker you can get that...

Thanks Iceberg...I use a Canadian broker for services. I was just wanting to avoid calling them to do this task. I thought maybe a memory dump existed that I could access and recover my password. If anyone else has done this themselves just let me know.

I have a DSR 505 HD Starchoice receiver and several months back I set a password to filter content. Well guess what I have forgotten my password to disable the parental control lock. Does anyone know how you can clear the password or the steps for password recovery and reset it (this time I will...

I set up my system in West Texas and I finally used Mike Kohl's coordinates and the next thing I see is a signal reading over 80! If you use the above numbers you will be watching Canada very soon.

I don't know who can do the installation, but you can make your purchase with Kusat of Canada. I recently used them and had no problems getting my dish and receiver.

I unplugged the unit for about 30 seconds and replugged it again and it worked! Is it best to shutoff the receiver at night (that's what I did last night).

Got everything going and all channels are working properly. I turned off my receiver last night at around midnight before going to bed. Woke up this morning and my program guide says "no data" for all channels. Later when I pushed the "guide" button it wouldn't go to the guide. Therefore, I have...

I installed my *Choice satellite and receiver today. The process took about six hours! It took forever to locate the satellite but using a monitor and the receiver on the back of my truck I eventually got the signal. My signal strength locked in at 86. I called TVM to activate programming but...

Thanks I'll do that when I install it after Christmas. I received my dish today (boy it's sure big) and have been tracking my receiver expected to arrive on the 26th. Weather permitting I'll give it a go on the 27th. I hope it goes smooth. You guys are great for advice, feedback, and overall...

If you want to receive the strongest signal from both satellites (with a 75cm dish) which satellite do you point towards? Thanks.

What are some available "white areas" still left?

Just called NPS to see where my waiver status is for Atlanta/SF distants and was informed that I would need to pay $3 per network to apply forwaivers. I asked her if I got credit back if my waiver was declined and she said no. It seems like the process changes daily and has become more of a...

I think I'm going with TVM. I just need to determine who to buy the system from. Interested in the HD 500 series receiver entire package including dish, hardware components and an installation kit.

I enjoy satellite television and frequently read your posts and news items but only joined the forum yesterday. I know very little about satellite technology but find it fascinating to read your posts and learn new ideas about products, programming, and problems.

Does Kusat act as a broker and distributor of Starchoice satellite products? Do they supply a Canadian mailing address and then sell the appropriate equipment to receive programming? How do they rate compared to TVM? Who do most people in the states use and who has the best customer service...

Thanks for the information. Where did you make your purchase, who do you use as a broker, and what were the costs?

I live in the Lubbock area and have Dish Network. I would like to look at making Starchoice my satellite provider. Some of my questions concern the following: cost of getting HD/DVR receivers and setting it up in four rooms, the ordering and broker process, finding someone who is familiar with...
